Thomas Blake ran in several different social circles when we was growing up in Wilmington, and it wasn't always easy bringing them together.

"I was always embarrassed to invite my (surfer and punk) friends to my shows," Blake said, like the musicals he performed in at Thalian Hall. "I wanted to make shows for my friends who weren't into the pretentiousness and fancy dress of theater."

Following his move to New York City to finish college at the age of 21, Blake soon found himself in the perfect boundary-breaking project: "Point Break Live!," a parody production of the 1991 movie starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze about a FBI agent who infiltrates a gang of surfing bank robbers.

The show, created by Jaime Keeling, began in New York City in 2003 before moving to Los Angeles in 2007, where Blake took over as producer and director. There, the show was performed regularly in a local bar, where it became an underground hit.

On Sunday, Blake and his "Point Break Live!" team are bringing the show to Ziggy's By the Sea and Wilmington for the first time ever. They'll perform another live spoof, "Terminator Too: Judgment Play," at Ziggy's on Sunday.

The highly interactive "Point Break Live!", which was written up in the New York Times in 2013 upon its return to the Big Apple, just last week became the first theater production ever staged at the Bonnaroo rock festival in Tennessee.

Blake said in addition to a performance of the exact dialogue and scenes from the film, minus a few extraneous subplots, the show gets a little messy as water and fake blood and money are sprayed on the audience. But don't worry – you can buy a survival kit, including a poncho, before the show.

"We try to make sure you get messy no matter where you are," Blake said, promising the messy effects aren't just limited to the front row. "It looks like a bomb went off when the show is over."

One lucky audience member even gets to lead the show. The lead role of Johnny Utah, played by Reeves in the film, is filled at every show by an spectator voted on by the audience. Taken backstage and put into costume, the one-night-only actor then performs the show from cue cards.

"There is no one who plays lost better than someone who is actually lost," Blake said, referencing Reeves' unintentionally humorous performance.

Mitch Eakins, who, like Blake, is a Wilmington native, will play the role of Bodhi, which was made famous by Swayze.

"Point Break Live!" isn't the only movie up for a little mockery this weekend.

In 2012, Blake premiered "Terminator Too: Judgement Play," which will play Saturday at Ziggy's.

Riddled with as much fake blood spatter as "Point Break Live!," "Terminator Too" takes aim at the Arnold Schwarzenegger sequel while offering an audience member the chance to be a star for the night.

Bringing these shows to Wilmington is bittersweet for Blake, who's never had the chance to show off his work to local family and friends.

"It is really cool because we have been doing it so long in L.A. and yet my friends and family have never seen it," he said. "I wanted to do these shows for my friends, so it is going to be really fun."
